    The 530 will not pass along the ADSB data, he previously mentioned the 210 is connected via RS422 to the 88.

    You said you recently had the 210 installed, was this by a Garmin dealer? I guess no. If I have a problem my dealer is my first choice for help. SOP is to update all the software for all the Garmin devices, generally a Garmin requirement if you have any issues. I would take it to a Garmin dealer who knows what they’re doing, have them update all the software and use their iPad to check the configuration and connections. I don’t know if the trial version of GP has full functionality.

    I don’t remember doing anything on the iPad to enable traffic and weather, only connecting via Bluetooth, I have Garmin pilot. You should boot up the 530 in configuration mode, and note the RS232 and 422 connection protocols. It’s been a while, but I think the RS422 is what Garmin calls the high speed bus. I don’t know FF but GP has a devices page you can see if it sees the 210 properly. Obviously check the 210 is connected via Bluetooth first.

    A carry bag fits in the cargo compartment standing up, there’s no need to fold down the back seat. Irons fit cross way, I only put the woods (heads in the hat area) across the seat backs.

    Ask the installer. There’s 2 separate 210 connections required, one to the 530 for flight plans and one to the 88 for ASDB data. The 88 is also connected to the 530 and the Aspen. You may not have any available connections. For example I am using all the ports on my GTN so I don’t get ADSB on my GTN, but my installer told me this up front.

    I would replace the spark plugs because it’s relatively cheap and easy. I would also do a injector test using jars to check the fuel flow is the same for all.

    Standard procedure when serviced was to replace the back spring, I wonder if they’ll still (can) do that?
  8. ArtVandelay
    Yes, but if look at the OP original post, he mentions moving it to the far right and was talking about hooking up the audio for alerts, my reply was to this, because there’s no audio from the JPI. I would install it anyway, it gets your attention better than the alert on the JPI, I’ve had it both ways.

    Just don’t pick something outrageous, Im reminded of a plane owned by an Alabama guy, all red, inside and out with “roll tide” in large letters. Basically eliminating potential buyers not Alabama fans. I have similar interior color and went with standard flowing design with dark blue on the underside.

    Fort Pierce also built new hangars and there’s still a waiting list. I track J listings on controller, they have been steady for the last couple of years in both numbers and prices.

    I have veneer throttle without any button to hold down, an option if you need to replace your throttle cable.

    Many have backup vacuum pumps, I had an electric one which was 12lbs, plus vacuum pump and hoses, etc added up to almost 20lbs. All together I was able to reduce my weight by about 75lbs, and that’s not an exaggeration.

    But they can get moisture inside the gauges if left sitting in water.

    I used painters tape to cover the fuel caps, speed brakes slots and wing fuel gauges. An ounce of prevention….

    The problem is it will cover for a battery going bad, so you will more likely not have a warning until you’re AOG away from home and the battery minder.

    Change the oil, make sure you run the engine to check for leaks and circulate the new oil.

    Normalize means you can level all the EGT and CHT readings, makes it easier to spot an outlier. Your readings will never be the same across cylinders. Altimeter on the right is probably a secondary indicator, common for those with graphic displays like G1000, etc. Nowadays the G5 or something similar is used as a backup indicator.

    Good to hear, 2 days to CA? Must have had some minimal head winds, good weather and long days. Ive never been able to do it in less than 3, either winds or a weather system slows me down.
  19. ArtVandelay
    Mine is on the pilot’s side vent where there’s no exhaust, it still reads high, I have another one on the lower wing I use if I want an accurate reading.
  20. ArtVandelay
    You can adjust the OAT reading somewhat (I think +-6°) in the settings but if using for determining icing conditions I agree moving it would be better.
  21. ArtVandelay
    I vaguely remember that you can lubricate the speed brakes without removing them, extending them and using a long thin stick IIRC.

    What is interesting in my case, the swings are reduced as the fuel levels decrease, you can see below where I switched tanks.

    Don’t know about the short bodies but my mid body doesn’t yaw much in moderate turbulence, anything more than that I start thinking of landing.
  25. ArtVandelay
    And if still airborne near the runway and the gusting wind abruptly stops you’re going to be drop testing the Mooneys landing gear. I landed once when winds were variable 7-29 knots from 230-330, I went from a perfect landing to bronco ride in a second, not so much fun.
